There is a focus on sustainability when manufacturing materials. Utilizing biobased materials and replacing fossil-based products the main research focus. Bio-composite are applied to packaging, filler coatings, pharmaceuticals. Here, we used leaves of agro-waste plant Albizia lebeck L. extract cellulose. Chemical treatment causing strong acid hydrolysis successfully extracted cellulose content from leaves. The obtained was then strengthened with polylactic make film for future applications. Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, particle size visible UV elemental analysis were all characterize SEM mechanical property check describe quality reinforced biofilm. greatest yield this raw material 50.2%. crystallinity index crystallite (CI 70.3% CS 11.29 nm) high in TG (DTG) curve derivative revealed breakdown initiated around 305.2°C can endure temperatures up 600°C. Biofilms (1, 2, 3, 5% by weight %) exhibited smooth parallel surface. As concentration increased, minor agglomeration occurred. tensile strength pure (PLA) (34.72 MPa) extended 38.91 MPa filler. Similarly, Young's modulus also increased 5.24 MPa. However, elongation break decreases increase content, least value decrease 7.5 Concerning prospective implementations, it expected that particles will prove be more functional.
